Students Waiting for Your Help 2018-2019

Rhode Island students who need your help right now:

Marcia

Eric

Alexis

Marcia

Marcia is in 4th grade. This is a crucial year where struggling readers can get overwhelmed by the material, especially if they have trouble with the reading process.

In 2017, she spent five intensive weeks with us, where she made significant progress:

Even with this all-important intervention, Marcia’s reading skills were equivalent to the end of 1st grade. Sadly, after the program ended, we did not have the funds to support this deserving child with one-to-one tutoring to continue the work we began. As a result, she has had to wait…and wait, as the school year marches on, the demands on her tenuous reading skills increase, and the strides we made together steadily erode.

Please consider supporting Marcia with a generous donation to the RITES financial assistance program so we can build this little girl’s self-confidence back up and give her the gift and power of literacy.

Eric

Eric is currently a 6th grader, who wants to be able to read more than anything.

When we met him, he was going into 5th grade, reading at a 1st grade level. With RITES tutoring and intensive summer program, he is closing the gap. But, his reading skills are still several grade levels below expectations. With your support, we can help Eric (and others like him) reach his goal of literacy.

Alexis

This bubbly 3rd grader really has been free to be herself, and discover her potential, when she has RITES support. She has made huge gains through individual tutoring and the small-group summer program:

But, that all comes to an end, unless you help keep the momentum going.

Alexis is ready for the next level of reading and writing support. She has gained some confidence in her reading skills, but now she needs to improve her understanding of what she reads and strengthen her writing skills. If she doesn’t get this kind of support, she is at risk of being left behind.

We can’t provide the necessary tutoring for Alexis until we have the funds to do so. $3,000 will provide a school year’s worth of tutoring for this vulnerable young lady. Please don’t let her wait any longer.
